As we were setting up our operations in Singapore, we were introduced to Yuen Law by a mutual friend. We have been very happy from the get go and have been able to get all our basic legal needs met in Singapore with the help of Yuen Law. As a fast paced technology company ourselves, we value prompt responses and great communication. Yuen Law has provided us prompt feedback and comments on whatever items we may have required. I can only recommend them to other expat companies looking to setup business in Singapore.

Yuen Law is prompt and professional. They provide good quality legal advice and services. I would recommend Yuen Law without any hesitation as the firm is very sincere and small business friendly and takes a great deal of interest in understanding a company’s problems and provides direct solutions to problems. Samuel and his team as a whole are a bunch of rock stars and work together closely to solve a our problems in a timely and professional manner.

I have known Samuel as a lawyer and friend for a few years. During this time, Samuel has provided me and my companies with invaluable advice and guidance for various commercial transactions. Samuel is also one of the most authentic people you will ever hope to meet in the market place. He takes the extra effort to explain various considerations simply (without legal jargon). Samuel gives very practical and commercially-savvy legal advice. This gave me the confidence we needed to move ahead with our transactions. With his help and the support of his team, I successfully re-acquired the HSR Group for S$1. Not only is Samuel and his team highly competent and knowledgeable, I know they care for me and are attentive to my concerns and are constantly looking out for my interests and legal rights. I have been doing business for more than 25 over years, and I dare say that it is sometimes difficult to find like-minded business people and entrepreneurs, which is why I value our relationship with Yuen Law greatly.

We have been working with Yuen Law since organizing our first ever event in Singapore in 2016 that was an international investor-startup conference of 2,000 people. Samuel and his team helped us with contracts and agreements, and gave plenty of consultation on matters big and small. There was no question we couldn’t ask them and no matter too big for them to resolve. Samuel and his team felt right away the right persons to work with – they understood very well the challenges of a small non-profit and were able to read well the startup mentality we had.

We highly appreciated the friendly and helping attitude of the whole team. We worked closely with Samuel and Jennifer who are rock solid professionals and were able to give us great advice – and they do everything with a customer-first approach. I can highly recommend Yuen Law to companies big and small, especially to startups that are looking for a legal partner that understands what a startup is going through.

I have worked twice with Yuen Law, first when the firm helped establish Foundation Chinese Opera, a non-profit organisation and later when it managed the registration process of Passerelles numériques, a French non-profit wishing to establish a Singapore base. In both cases Yuen Law proved to be a knowledgeable counsellor and I was also impressed by the follow-up work done. Equally important, charges of Yuen Law have always been very reasonable. Working with Samuel has been a pleasure.

I needed help in legal aspects of setting up an eco-enterprise and Yuen Law being known to the social enterprise scene was my obvious choice. Yuen Law is upfront about what they propose and flexible in their dealings. I really love how Samuel and the team are so understanding and compassionate towards issues small enterprises face. The team is always quick to help out in any way possible, especially when times got hard. I am grateful for the human side of Yuen Law. Samuel has always been the cheerful and personable one, never once rejecting my need to see him. Cheryl takes great effort to stay in touch and reply promptly! I would definitely recommend Yuen Law because they are very approachable and would never leave anyone hanging.

We needed a firm who could help with our local and international trade mark protection needs at a reasonable price. We like the team’s responsiveness, and “light touch” approach. Samuel and his team were headstrong on issues that they feel will represent our best interests. Balancing deal-making with legal considerations is a skill that business people really look for in good lawyers, and they hit the bull’s-eye with this. We hit off our partnership on the right note. I would recommend their services because of their firm’s friendly but serious culture. They are an easy going bunch whom cares about their work.

Mr Anil was acting as the defence lawyer for my PPO case. I’ve found him to be detailed, focused, patient, knowledgeable and systematic. He’s most willing to assist in whatever possible way and is also open to suggestions. He’s able to empathise with his client and constantly provides updates as well as reassurance. In both his cross as well as direct examination, he seeks to obtain the best possible outcome and does his utmost to defend his client.

Vadivelu,

Mr Anil is is very meticulous and detailed as he assists in the trial of a friend of mine. He is thorough and detailed as he works through the case. He is focused and puts his heart into assisting his client, empathetic and reassuring as well, even though language may be a barrier in communicating. He is open to discussions, ideas, and feedback as he discusses and updates his client. I believe he does his very best in all his cases in defending his client(s).

Chua,

I am deeply grateful that Mr. Anil took up my case. He handled my case with professionalism and was deeply committed that I received the best sentence possible. He stood by me during a long drawn out trial which took more than a year to end, providing constant updates and reassurances throughout. The judge even commended him for his attention to detail during one of the sentencing in which he pointed out an important fact that swung the case in our favour.

I came across IRB Law from SLA and Mr Anil reverted back to me almost promptly within the next hour regarding my enquiries. As my case deals with IP law and requires urgent response to the other party, Mr Anil has been most kind and helpful in fixing a meeting to understand my case with efficiency amidst his busy schedule. He is very patient and helpful explaining entire case situation to me and providing essential legal advice to my best interests. He also managed a negotiation to reduce my legal cost and case terms to the minimum. My case has since ended all thanks to Mr Anil and I’m most grateful for all his help rendered.

Mr Anil Balchandani acted as my defence counsel when I was facing a criminal charge with a possible prison sentence. But he managed to successfully reduce it to a discharge not amounting to an acquittal.

Mr Tay,
6 May 2016

We engaged Mr. Anil N Balchandani from IRB law to be my son’s defence lawyer.
He is an excellent lawyer. He spoke up during the court hearing and highlighted the important points to the judge that helped my son. I am glad that my son got probation and can continue with his studies.
Mr. Anil updated us on all the information after each court hearing, and was very detailed in his emails.

I sincerely thank Mr. Baiross of IRB Law for recommending Mr Anil to be our defence lawyer.

I highly recommend Nicolas Tang. Coming from the US but needing counsel in Singapore was daunting, but Nicolas’ English was perfect.

And when I say perfect, I mean better than my own. :-).

This was for an emerging technology and Nicolas and his team we’re able to understand what was a very complex issue.

HIGHLY recommend!

I am extremely grateful to my Senior Legal Counsel, Nicolas Tang of Farallon Law Corporation, for his tireless dedication and professionalism.

From the start, he advised me on all the possibilities and pitfalls, and with great clarity and detail. He looked out for me every step of the way and I felt secure in the knowledge that he had an amazingly effortless grasp of all the complexities of the case.

He also helped me keep calm and clear-headed whenever I was flustered, angry or upset.

Most importantly, he helped me see that I should seek justice with compassion, and not revenge. The past 100 days, you have seen me evolving mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Nicolas, you have opened my mind to alternative ways of solving my problems.

Thank you for teaching me to live in joy, not just for myself, but for others, too. Your dedication and values in your profession inspires me. Thank you for giving your best.

Beyond expectation. Efficient, detail oriented, considerate, knowledgeable …
We were very fortunate and happy to run into Nicholas’ firm in dealing with SG legal system, not easy for an expat. He clearly knows how to make and present a case.

John S. Chang,

Nicolas represented me through a criminal prosecution. At the beginning, the situation was bleak. Nicolas expertly analyzed my case, and made me aware of options I was not aware of. He helped me to understand the possible outcomes and make an informed decision about pleading or going to trial. He was also tactical and strategic, recommending alternatives when roadblocks were put in place. I would recommend him to anyone looking for detailed and intelligent representation. Throughout my case, I felt that he was going far beyond the basics, thinking of arguments and legal tools to represent me. The outcome was favorable, and I could not recommend him more.

Connor,

Nicolas did a great job with my case. Although I came to him very late in the process, he did good research and worked hard in defending me. His advice was sound and professional. At the end, we won the case.

Nakoorsha set up Nakoorsha Law Corporation after gaining extensive experience in commercial litigation and criminal law practice. Aside from a busy general litigation practice, Nakoorsha also engages in regulatory and compliance advisory work for private equity and investment firms. He has also advised officers of public listed companies in matters…

We got to know Nakoorsha though a friend’s recommendation. He invited us down for a non obligatory chat to understand the case was able to explain and provide my Dad and myself with very clear advise and solutions. He also stated the legal fees involved and promised us that there were no hidden charges. He was friendly, down to earth and we felt assured after the first meeting with him so we decided to engage him for my Dad’s case.

Nakoorsha represented my Dad well. He kept us informed of what was going on, what to expect and what we should do. He also explained the implications that might come along the way and made sure we understood what he was doing as well as what the possible outcomes could be, whether it is good or bad.

After several rounds of court meetings, discussions by Nakoorsha and the DPP, my Dad’s case finally came to a close with a stern warning given. We could have not done this without his expertise and we appreciate his time and effort in achieving a very positive outcome for the case.

I would strongly recommend Nakoorsha if you are looking for a responsible lawyer who can clearly articulate what all the legal jargons are and of course provide good solutions.

Very upright advocate. Very good communicator. Earnest practitioner who seemed to gain the respect of the mediator. Calm in the face of an oft-times over emotional client!

J. Taylor,

Ronald is very professional and helpful throughout the case.

J Cao, proprietor of a design firm,
11 December 2017

From my brief experience with Mr Ronald Wong with regards to the legal advice sought on business contracts, he is very prompt with his response and/or advice. In short, he ‘underpromise’ and ‘overdeliver’ at the end of the whole transaction. I would highly recommend Ronald of Covenant Chambers for legal advice/services.

R Lee, Executive in a service enterprise,
11 December 2017

Ronald worked with us to build and launch two projects: (1) a company-wide raft of operational policies and procedures and (2) a risk management system. All based upon government contracts and KPIs. Ronald managed the building and development phases using his strong project management abilities, contract and compliance knowhow, extensive involvement with teams on the ground and he conducted more than 30 workshops. The workload was much heavier than originally expected but Ronald was entirely nonplussed and delivered both projects to a very high standard. I know that everyone who interacted with Ronald appreciated his calmness and politeness, skill and systemic thinking towards the projects. Thank you Ronald!

Ronald is a “new-age” generation legal advisor who’s constantly aware of client’s needs and offers practical advice and solutions. There’s a unique personal touch from him to ensure that the legal terms are easy to digest and understand by a layman.

J. Koh,
12 April 2017

Ronald understood my requirements and was prompt in responding to the brief and his advice was very sound.

J. Hughes,
5 April 2017

Ronald is a trustworthy lawyer who provides good counsel for the issues we brought to him. He often went out of the way to uncover issues that may pop up much further down the line and to give guidance on the things to do now to prevent future incidents. We have a great opinion of him as counsel and have a great deal of faith in his expertise. Ronald often responded within the hour and was available when we required his counsel. Ronald often provided advice that was not in our direct scope but also tangentially associated with our requirements down the line. Professional … except he didn’t wear the wig as they do in some tv dramas. Reliable and dependable to provide good advice. Affordable … he charges less than his worth.

J. Soh,
4 April 2017

Ronald is able to provide helpful, timely and professional legal advice thru layman format. He will share all the necessary and important information regarding the scenario, implication and consequence of a legal matter. He is attentive and able to provide constructive feedback and concerns with great deal of patience. I would especially like to commend Ronald on his professionalism and superlative skills ! I would also like to recommend Ronald to anyone who needs a good lawyer!

Absolutely [prompt]… You give me sufficient advice. You clearly guide me on dealing with the opposite side. You are patient… We have good communication… You are also patient for further explanation when I was having something not sure. Your services are excellent.

Mr Wong carefully listened to the specifics of my case before giving his opinion and counsel, which was very helpful, offering not only understanding but empathy.

Excellent. You have my account for the foreseeable future.

C. Roux dit Buisson, start-up founder,
30 April 2016

Your services are great, you are patient with your explanations, and you tailor the language use (simple/complex) in your emails and contracts to the clients/reader, you work within a highly affordable budget, and you are transparent and sincere in your services. And now you’re willing to take feedback to further improve your services. Great experience throughout.

M Hu,

I worked with Ronald Wong when I was the Comms executive/Case worker with HealthServe. Even before Ronald graduated from law school and started his practice, he was already a committed and dedicated volunteer, initiating a fund raising event for the medical NGO and also contributing articles to raise awareness on migrant worker issues.

After Ronald was called to the Bar, he volunteered as a pro bono lawyer and represented a few foreign workers I was assisting at HealthServe. As a new lawyer who had to often handle a heavy workload, he still showed the same commitment and passion in his pro bono work, always conscientious in keeping his clients and the case workers updated. He has represented foreign workers facing criminal and employment violation charges, and was exceptional when it came to following each case from start to finish.

What I appreciate most about working with Ronald is his dedication, patience and compassion towards disenfranchised foreign workers.

Jacqueline Tan, former HealthServe staff,
20 February 2016

I had the privilege of working with Ronald while setting up my first company. Ronald was involved in many aspects of the start-up, including negotiations with business partners from both Europe and Asia. I was very satisfied with his drafting of contracts with fairly complex requirements. From day one of our interactions, a few things stood out that made my experience very different from my earlier legal endeavours: Ronald’s competence is one of the best I’ve come across in the field. He was very, very fast in turning around on several items in our work. Communication and responsiveness were beyond my expectations – the best I’ve seen so far. Regardless of where I was and the time zones I was in, Ronald was always just a call away, affording my team and I valuable advice. The complexity of our work required a fair bit of research and expertise and Ronald was able to manoeuvre us through it with a great deal of care and clarity while taking a lot of time out to ensure we (the client) were aware of the process and on the same page. With his advice, we were able to conclude significantly better terms of trade. Above all, Ronald is one of the nicest human beings I’ve met – one who goes beyond requirements both professionally and privately, which makes it very pleasant to do business and work with him. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Ronald to my friends and colleagues.

Vincent Wong, founder of two businesses,
13 February 2016

There may be may legal professionals who know the law, but very few appreciate its nuances. I have known Ronald Wong to be one of those few.

Having known Ronald first as a classmate in Law School and then as fellow practitioners, I have come to observe how effortlessly he navigates legal concepts and legal issues, with a strong appreciation of each person’s specific circumstances. Put together, these skills enable him to provide the best possible legal solution for whatever is brought to his attention.

That aside, Ronald is also a man of deep compassion, and his dedication towards the man on the street is equal to the man who may be held in higher esteem. I have no doubt that in leaving your legal (or other) concerns with him, these matters will be handled with the utmost of skill and heart, and you can trust him to be your counsel and fervent advocate both in the courtroom and out.

We approached I.R.B law soon after doing some researched on which law firm will be suitable to represent my father in court. We met up with Ashwin and laid out the case to him. Ashwin was available to guide us through the legal process and is highly professional and he is also a compassionate lawyer. He had helped my father through this difficult times and has lessen the charges.

My sincere thanks goes to my excellent legal representative, Mr. Ashwin. I could not be happier with the results of my husband’s trial. Ashwin went above and beyond to assist my husband in getting a lighter sentence that we have been hoping for. His confidence in the court room never fail to impress me. He really made me feel like I am in good hands. Ashwin, never dissapoint and I am really proud and pleased. I knew all along that I made the right choice in appointing, Ashwin Ganapathy. Thumbs up.

Lyanna Franco,

The quality services I received at IRB Law Firm by Ashwin Ganapathy were remarkable. From the initial meeting, he was responsive to my calls, questions and concerns. All issues were handled professionally and timely. Billing rates were very reasonable. Ashwin represented me in court for the first time and I was very impressed. Ashwin is concise and very powerful with his words leaving no stone unturned. After seeing Ashwin in action in court, I had total confidence and that my settlement will exceed my expectations. I am very grateful for his high spirit during the court session representations. I highly recommend IRB – Ashwin.

Thank you Ashwin.

Ashwin has shown a high level of professionalism and enthusiasm from the first meeting right till the case closed. He was clear in his explanations and patient with our endless questions. We were grateful for his fighting spirit seen especially during representations and mitigations. All these had indeed contributed to successfully getting a lenient sentence that we had been praying for. Thank you very much Ashwin.
